Iron is an essential mineral. It is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily in part because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Iron is also part of myoglobin, which helps muscle cells store oxygen. Without enough iron, adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the fuel the body runs on) cannot be properly synthesized. As a result, some iron-deficient people become fatigued even when their hemoglobin levels are normal (i.e., when they are not anemic).

The signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include:

Fatigue and weakness

Pale skin

Dark circles under the eyes

Brittle hair and nails

Shortness of breath

Heart palpitations

Decreased ability to exercise

Poor concentration

Rapid pulse

Susceptibility to infections

Dizziness or faintness

Cold extremities

Although it is readily found in nature, iron is poorly absorbed and Floradix Iron & Herbs is specially designed to support healthy iron levels due to its maximum absorption ability.
